Mar 04, 2010

These sleek input gadgets from Minebea were developed together with Professor Kazuo Kawasaki. The devices are part of the company's new Cool Leaf series, which features a keyboard, a remote control and a calculator.

All of these new devices boast flat acrylic mirrored surfaces that have a capacitive touch panel. When the devices are turned off they can be used as a mirror, and when you turn them on you can see a backlit input interface. Due to their flat design you can easily clean the devices.

The company looks forward to use their technology in other digital devices in the near future. The Cool Leaf input is expected to be used in telecommunication, housing, and medical equipment.
